Morton's, Other Big Chains Coming to Downtown
Yesterday the Daily News published a story about a mystery high-end steakhouse taking space in the ground floor of the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (top photo), but the restaurant’s identity wasn’t a mystery for all that long.

Yesterday the Daily News published a story about a mystery high-end steakhouse taking space in the ground floor of the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (top photo), but the restaurant’s identity wasn’t a mystery for all that long. Morton’s signed a lease for a whopping 14,500 square feet of space at the hotel, according to a press release published on CNN Money, and expects to open its 295-seat restaurant in late 2008. Doesn’t seem like the steakhouse could ever challenge Luger’s supremacy in Brooklyn (even after the Times demoted the old-school spot to two stars), but it’ll probably fit in just fine Downtown, which is increasingly drawing the national chain gang. Even more interesting (to us, anyway) was the news that Barneys, Apple, The Gap and Banana Republic have all expressed interest in taking space next door to the Marriott, in a city-owned building on Adams Street. We can only assume that the building in question is 345 Adams Street (bottom photo).

chucky cheese is a more convenient dining alternative for atlantic center. i don’t think they offer happy meals however.
It’s true, I do like Target. I just can’t stand most of the people that work at the Atlantic Center location. Many of them are almost as useless as your idiotic comments.
I’m not sure what gave you the idea that I’m sputtering, but I’m not freaking out–I’m just telling you to shut the fuck up.
“11:51–
Fuck off, you mental midget.
In other words, take your own advice and shut the fuck up.
Oh yeah, and the service at Target is lousy.”
Admit it. You love the place. You’re obsessed with it. That’s why you’re sputtering and freaking out. Get a hold of yourself. Go back to Target at Atlantic Center and have a Happy Meal.
11:51–
Fuck off, you mental midget.
In other words, take your own advice and shut the fuck up.
Oh yeah, and the service at Target is lousy.
“11:10–what are you, one of the useless Target employees?”
Nope. I’m just tired of reading your whiny bulls**t.
11:10–what are you, one of the useless Target employees?
I obviously deal with the shitty service since I shop there twice a month. I also complain about the lousy customer service there because BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULD NOT BE THE NORM–especially when the employees are PAID to help customers.
And really, who the hell are you to tell anyone to shut the fuck up? Since you wouldn’t tell a stranger that in real life, you’re nothing but a sad internet coward.
Dipshit.
11:13 It’s about wage. If you’re not paid your worth, you get an attitude.
“If you want good customer service, shop at a high-end store, where the service is a part of their branding.”
I’ve had BAD service in places like the GAP on 42nd and Third Avenue, and GOOD service in places like Macy’s in the Fulton Mall! It’s all relative. Good service is not necessarily based on store location or category or in the ethnicity of the staff. More often than not, it’s based on that indivdual establishment’s culture.
